Supposed New Specific for the Terrible Dis
ease-Recont Wonderful Experiments.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The entire world is much excited by
what is regarded as the most marvellous
discovery CT modern times in medical
science. 1t is now confidently asserted
that a specific and complete cure for con-
sumption has been discovered. Some
time ago professor in the University of
Lyons, France, read paper on his cure for
the dreaded and heretofore insurmOunts-
bic disease. The remedy is very sim
pie, and consists simply of an Injection
of carb0nic acid gas into the bowels. The
paper attracted wide attention, and the
French DOCTORS suggestions were acted
upon in the London consumption hospit-
ais with marked success. DR.. McLOugh-
lin, chief Physician of the Philadelphia
almshOuse, was the first American doctor
to experiment with the new supposed
specific for phthisis. He submitted his
plans to
THIRTY CONSUMPTIVE PATIENTS.
who consented to have the operation
tried on them. The result was most re
markable. One man was in q terrible
state. He wss actually doubled up, suf-
fered intensely from q hacking cough, an
obstinate diarrhGd, and that cold sweat
which is peculiar to an advanced stage Of
the disease. They tried the experiment
on him, and inside OF forty-eight hours
the sweating disappeared, and he was en-
tirely relieved of his distressing cough.
At that time the man was absolutely dy-
ing, but after four days treatment he
could walk about apparently as well as
ever, and eat dozen of oysters.
In another case q wOman's right lung
was breaking up and q large cavity was
observable in it. When the treatment
was applied she used to expectorate daily
9 large quantity of pus. In her case also
the result was perfectly incredible and
she has gained very much in flesh. One
man has gained twelve pounds. since they
began the treatment on him; others from
three pounds to nine POUNDS, and one
man who had not left his bed for three
months now walks around every day.
The Enquirer of Saturday contained q
dispatch from Philadelphia giving some of
THE ASTONISHING EFFECTS
of the new treatment. Some physicians
in this city have been using the remedy
for two or three months, and all are
greatly impressed by it. A prominent
doctor was called upon yesterday By an

FENCE-CUTTERS, NEW FIELD.

FenCe-cUtting, which is now an effett
industry in Texas, has found a new field
of operation in Mississippi, state where
one would hardly expect such g species
of lawlessness to develop. Mississippi is
a wooded state, and 1t is impraCticable as
well as unnecessary to fence in such vast
areas of land as we see in Western Texas,
mile after mile of the grim oarbed wire,
presenting the dreariest sight the man
with hoe ever gazed on, but very CRATE
full to the sight of the man with lowing
herds. In Mississippi the cattle industry
is comparatively insignificant, and since
The war the tendency has run to smaller
farms, thus making the areas under fence
smaller. The trouble there seems to
have grown out of an act OF the Legisla-
ture making wire fence, such as We
have in Texas, lawful Enclosure, and
providing that stock breaking through
such barrier shall be subject to imme-
diate slaughter at the hands of
the party whose Enclosure is thus
invaded, or else holding the owner
of the depredating stock liable for all
damages inflicted by his cattle or swine.
The law worked very well so far as the
cattle were concerned, for the wire fence
held them at bay, as it does everywhere.
But the hogs, which are far more numer-
Gus in Mississippi than horned cattle,
were not to be shut out by wire fence;
they made their way between or under
the wires with impunity, and the newt
able result followed; the owners of the
lands either killed the hogs or sued their
owners, and thus bad feeling grew up.
FenCe-cutting has commenced in various
portions of Mississippi, and as rule it is
the Objectionable wire fences that are de-
stroyed. The Mississippians are as
founded and puzzled, and talk of the ne
Cessity for legislation to punish this (to
them) novel mode of doing injury to
property. 1t is the same spirit that for a
while was so rampant in Texas, although
evoked by different causes. No commu-
nifty can afford to condone or daily with
such a spirit, and the sooner it is
the better for all con-
cerned. There is even less ex-
cuse for its operations in Mississippi
than existed in Texas, for here men of
small means and holdings saw themselves
literally fenced out of existence, and it
was not wondered at when they revolted.
1t was dangerous, lawless spirit, how
ever, that the revolt displayed, and So
ciety, despite the admitted provocation,
with such summary measures |
that fence cutting ceased. Our friends
over IN Mississippi can nip the trouble in
the bud if they move promptly. If they
do not, they will soon realize what
plague it will prove. Thank heaven, we

TO REGULATE SUITS FOR LIBEL

TO REGULATE SUITS FOR LIBEL.
The following Is the full text of bill
introduced by Senator Glasscock:
Be it enacted by the Legislature Of the State OF
Texas:
Section !. Every person shall be at liberty to
speak, write or publish his opinions on any
subject being responsible for the abuse of that
privilege.
Sec. J. In prosecutions and civil suits insti-
tuted to recover dam ages for hbeIous publca-
tions, the truth of the alleged nheOus matter
my be given in evidence, and shall constitute
justification thereof and comp etc defense
to the suit.
Secs Before instituting suit to recover dam
ages growing out of a lOelJus publication, the
party aggrieved shall first give notice to the
author Of the publication of + IS intention to
bring such suit, and if within ten days
after the receipt of the notice the author of The
publication shall in like public manner fully,
completely withdraw and retraCt the offensive
matter of which the aggrieyed party comp aims,
then such withdrawal and retraCtiOn shall Op
crate as a bar to any suit thereafter Instituted
on account of the Iibelous publication, unless
the publication was the result of Ill will or NAL
ice on the part of the author
Sec. 4. If the libelous publicat!o7 preceding
be published or circulated bya corporation, the
be delivered to the president, secretary or Otner
managing officer of such corporation.
Sec 5. This act shall take effect and be In
force from ana after its passage.
Section of this bill should be so
amended that the party aggrieVed
shall be required to give notice
to the newspaper in which the
offensive publication appears, as well as
to the author of such publication, to the
end that the newspaper may have de-
Tense in the retraCtion. A daily neWspa-
per can properly guard the publications
prepared in it's own Office, but it is de-
pendent upon others for the truth of the
matter that goes into its news columns,
and it is these columns that constitute |
the most prolific source of libel suits. !
Very rarely does it happen that news
paper of any responsibility is sued for !
damages on account of editorial publica-
tons, and this fact is strong argument |
against the popular notion that newspa-
pers generally are prone to libel. The re-
verse, indeed, is true, for a newspaper is
as tenacious Of its reputation for
as any individual, if not much
more SO, for nothing so soon and so
surely destroys q newspapers influence
IS reputation for reckless statement
The reputable newspaper cannot afford to
indulge the same license affected by the
average individual, and the popular idea

scy. A publication that demands a re-
traction or explanation is as unpalatable

;essitates such reparation can be to an

Correspondence of the Gazette.
Our city in the woods has been and
continues extremely dull. Money never
was known to be as stringent as at this
time. The drOuth has been just terrible,
and there is no sign as TO when it is 60
ing to change for the better. There is
not the most distant prospect Of a crop,
and even our animals are showing in their
reduced condition the want of nutri-
tiOus food The grass, where there is
any left, for the most has been burned up
and blown away. 1t is perfectly dry and
parChed, and for miles around the water
ing places there is not a spear or
blade Of anything green except the no
pal, prickly pear, and few other species of
the cactus and thOrny shrubs-on which
the cattle and sheep and goats manage to
keep alive, and really in better order than
would be supposed possible. Horses suf-

scarcely tit for market, and there are not

unconcerned about the matter. Conse-

IMPRISONMENT rs. HANGING.

Maine was the first state of the Union
to introduce what is known as the pro-
hibitory policy and now her lawmakers
have determined on another experiment,
the outcome of with will be watched
with interest, albeit several years will OF
necessity be required to test how much
of value there is in the system as
compared with that which it super
sedes. The reform Off such it
may be called is the abolition of capital
punishment. The scaffold is to- be taken
down and Imprisonment for life in all
cases of murder in the first degree substi-
tuted. Such convicts, however, are to
be kept in close confinement, away from
all associations, and no pardouing power
is vested in the Governor or council
unless the convict is proved TO be limo
cent. 1t is not Coutended that senti-
mental humanity plays any part IN bring
ing about the new system; the terrors of
lifelong Incarceration, at hard labor
and absolute solitary features may well
be considered as perhaps as severe pun
ishment as death-msny prisoners would
doubtless prefer death. The chief motive,
therefore, for the innovation must be the
belief that it will have g greater tendency
to lessen the crime of murder than the in
Fiction Of the death penalty does.
There can be no doubt that if the results
are encouraging other states will
cheerfully adopt q similar policy, for
society at large would be glad to
be we'll rid Of the gallows sys-
tenn, with its many revolving features,

W. E. LAwToN, dealer in phosphstes
in New York city, left unexpectedly last
Tuesday with sum amounting to over
half million of dollars. PhOsphates are
said to be enriching material, but not to
this extent. His character for twenty
years has been irreproachable, and his
friends talk of q mind unbalanced. His
care in collecting this sum shows, how,
ever, that he adjusted the balance most
carefully, putting honor. family name and
previous rectitude in the scale, and salts
flying himself that 100000 outweighed
the non-convertlbles.

Last Saturday young man who
gave his name as Pettegrew,
broke into Crow & Mckee
hans store at Sublette' station
and took four cans of oysters, a
pair of gloves and other articles.
When the theft was discovered
some of the young men gave
chase ON hand car and overlook
him near Greentop, captured and
brought him back to Sublette,
where he was searched. The
search resulted in finding on his
person, six revolvers-three of
them loaded; eight boxes of cart
ridges, number of pocket knives,
a watch and S5.35 in money. The
fellow was brought to town, with
the arsenal, pocket knives and
other plumber was turned over to
Sheriff Kinnear. He had his pre-

held for burglary and larceny, and
placed in jail to await the April

his home is near Centerville, To-,

Mexico, Mo.
